Fishweir Elementary School is sending a trailer to the Blountstown, Florida area this Saturday,November 3rd . The Blountstown area was one of the areas that was impacted by Hurricane Michael.

This personally touches the hearts of our Fishweir family with several of our teachers either from that area or have family still there. Our desire is to assist the local elementary students, that no longer have a school, to get back in the “classroom”. You can also drop off supplies this week in the teacher’s lounge. Below you will find a list of suggested supplies. Just think if we had to start from scratch to rebuild our school.

• If a teacher requests class change for a student, a conference must take place with the principal first, then with parent individually.

• Principal will schedule a conference with the parent and teacher where strategies/interventions will be developed as a team and implemented. Principal will monitor.

• If parent requests class change for student, same procedures must occur.

• The monitoring period will consist of 3 weeks.

• Post conference will take place individually with teacher and parent. Then principal, teacher and parent will meet as a group with the decision if the student is moved or not. Principal makes the final decision.

Parents, welcome to the new school year! We would like to introduce you to our New
